What size rear tires U guys running on the 350X?

[ClayW]

Just currious. I have 22X12X9's on mine right now. They are a little tall. I was thinking of a 20 or 21. I have a buddy that has a pretty decent set of 21X12X9 that I was thinking of going with. I know that stock was not quite as wide. What do you guys think and use?

[ClayW]

I might add that I would like a little more throttle response :D I know the shorter tires will help with that.

[wheelie king]

got 20-12-9 on the rear of mine. It's a nice size for a good holeshot- and what do you know- that's even the brand of tires I've got! :D . (oh well, that was stupid, but I had to say it).

[ClayW]

Cool. Could you tell any difference in the throttle response? Take much away from the top end?

[wheelie king]

Since I never hammer it out and run top end for long periods of time, I was not concerned withit killing my top end speed. I ride mostly tight trails where if you run more than 40, you'll be hospitalized, so I was mostly concerned with accelleration. The shorter tire will take a couple mph off your top end, and while I hesitate to lable it as better "throttle response" , the shorter tires will the bike accellerate noticeably faster. It basically shortens your gears a little, and improves accelleration.

Try some 20 inchers.

18 inch tires and you'll wheelie in every gear! :w00t: Just kidding.

I wouldn't go any bigger than 20's (stock on 250R, 400EX, 450R) I have 18's on my 250R and I love them.

[trikerider2oo7]

i am running 20x11-9 razrs on the back of mine. they are great tires 22's are too tall and 18's are too short in my opinion. 20's are just right

My "Showgirl" came with the 20" Holeshots on it... after buying a set of OEM tires on OEM rims, I've taken them off and love the tall narrow tire that's stock. Went and bought a set of OEM tires from HONDA since that... mind you... not $600 like that guy on ebay's tyrying to sell them at! About $50 a piece.

[ClayW]

Yeah I looked and I actually have 22 X 12.5 X 9 They are big. I was thinking of going with the 20s or 21s

[Tri-ZNate]

The tires that should be on it are 23.5x12x9 I believe. They are a pain in the a** to find too.

[ClayW]

I think those are for just the front. I am about to get one of those. $50 plus shipping. :D

[deathman53]

the stock fronts are 23.5x8x11, I have kenda front max tires on my trikes, rocky mountain sells them for $40

[MassTrike]

my old X had 16 in turf savers on it, it was an old racer. i liked them , but i only like riding mx and on hardpack. on my 200x i had 20 inch razors and they were mint, very good in all conditions.

[350Xccelerator]

my X has holeshots 20x11x8 on the wack 8 inch rims.

[ClayW]

Yeah, looks like im going to go with some 20x11x9 Razors. Man Rockymountain has some good prices on tires. :beer Thanks for the tip. I had been buying tires from hyperparts. But RM is even cheaper than them on tires.

[markdb420]

I have 20-11-9 Kenda Knarleys and they are awesome, I first put the same size on my 400ex and they are 6 ply and they hook up great and are fairly punture resistant I tried these on my R and loved them so I'll probably get a set for that later

[NOS_350X]

I have tried a whole slew of tires on my 350x, and right now i'm sticking to my 20X11X9 turf tamers. If you want to be able to do just about anything go witht he 20's. If your just racing go with 18's. Going from 22's to 20's you will notice a diffrence in top speed but the throttle responce is much better.

[ClayW]

Yeah, im wanting just a little more grunt from take off. I had 18s on my old SX and it made it noticable quicker. Not as much top end though. But it couldnt have been 5mph off the top. I think the 20s are for me. :beer

[AirManCam]

I run 20" razrs all summer. Then I go to 18 inch studded fasttrekkers for when I go ice fishing.
